She can't wear the Laura Bush look because that would be too matronly. Nix on the Jackie O look because that is too old fashioned - except she is doing the pearls. She is going for the hip young Shelly O look and can't pull it off. Someone has told her that the belt looks good and is a signature piece.She needs better advisors. She walks down the steps of Airforce one like she a has a bowling ball between her legs. I wonder what this shot was about

That is not photoshopped?

Rummy Chick, she must be showing off her trendy Sock Hop moves to the ladies in that pic.

Keepin' it classy in cotton pleats.

Mortifying Michelle is giving Chicago's truly fashion-forward such a bad name. I guarantee everyone that this bumpkin is causing Chicago's hipper "ladies who lunch" to sign a very collective, bipartisan GROAN. She's ruining Chicago's fashion image.

And sequined knits? Was that on April Fools'? Knits have much fluidity, while as everyone knows, sequins are static. Even Dolly Parton would cringe at incorporating the two. Some elements you just don't ever combine, no matter what. Kinda like glitter-n-gaberdine, viscose-n-velvet, flax-n-fur, bunting-n-beads, accrylic-n-angora, feathers-n-felt, spandex-n-spraypaint, or shantung-n-chenile. ;-)

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? Is she trying to dance or something?

I wonder what this shot was about

Teaching them the electric slide? Notice no one is paying her any mind which is precisely what I'd like to do!

What in the world is she doing????

She does have custody of the marital nads. It must be uncomfortable.

“Someone has told her that the belt looks good and is a signature piece.She needs better advisors.”

The advisors are not the problem! I read here on FR a few weeks ago that the designers and consultants create a beautiful outfit and then at the last minute Michelle ruins it by adding her own personal touch. She’ll have a nice dress, for example, and then add this stupid belt, or grab a scarf from her own closet that she thinks enhances the outfit. Hence we see she is often overly cluttered. Instead of the old rule “take off one accessory” to be well-dressed, Michelle is adding more. Next think you know, she’ll have Obama wearing foulard pocket squares.
